Only the Young have been voted off the X Factor after the acts all performed Whitney Houston and Elton John songs.

The group had performed Elton John's Something About The Way You Look Tonight and got positive comments from the judges.

Simon Cowell had said: "Before that performance you would've been one of the favourites to leave tonight, but not after that.

"The competition would be sad to see you go."

Mel B had said: "I have to say this is why we all love you guys. You're young, fun and the vocals are always on point.

"I want to join the group. Every week you deliver. I love it."

Cheryl said: "This is testament to you guys. The theme could've hindered you but you did a great version and i think you found your niche".

After the votes froze and the guest performance, Dermot O'Leary revealed the acts safe in this order: Lauren Platt, Ben Haenow, Andrea Faustini and Stereo Kicks. Only The Young were then revealed to have the lowest number of votes.

After being voted out Only the Young's Charlie said: "I am so proud of these guys. We give it our best every week and we will carry on doing that."

Parisa from the group said: "We are so grateful that the public have kept us in so far.

"We've had an incredible time and this is not the end of Only The Young."

Louis Walsh, their mentor, said: "They’re on the X Factor tour, they just need a record deal, they’re great, great kids to work with."
